Meet new people, share stories about your favourite reads, and enjoy meaningful conversations. We create laid-back spaces where talking to strangers is the norm and connection is made easy. ​​**About your phone:** *Your phone will rest in our “phone hotel,” and we’ll be its bodyguards. But just so you know, if it magically disappears, learns to fly, or mysteriously breaks, The Offline Club can’t be held responsible.* ​​*Not quite ready to let it go? No worries, just switch it off and keep it tucked away, out of sight.* ​We love and appreciate the venues that host our events! Please remember that your consumption gives the venues one more reason to love us back! ​**We can’t wait to swap screen time for real time with you.** ​​Offline hugs, ​​Stefania, ​The Offline Club Paris ​-- ​*📸 Thanks to our volunteer Photo Manager [Tarannum Hussain](https://www.instagram.com/tarannum17/) for taking this photo of our club at TiTi Palcio.*

Lyric writing exercises
Lyric writing exercises
Lyric writing weekly group practice. A few object writing rounds to start, get our reps in — a favorite from the canon, Write Better Lyrics by P. Pattinson.* Followed by other exercises. I adapt the program depending on who shows up. *Object writing : a noun picked through a random word generator, a 10 min timer to delve into our sensory imagination and free-flow with this prompt. We then take turn sharing.

Club de lecture : Tome 1 - L'énigme des Blancs-Manteaux de Jean-François Parot
Club de lecture : Tome 1 - L'énigme des Blancs-Manteaux de Jean-François Parot
"Paris, janvier 1761. Nicolas Le Floch, un jeune homme natif de Guérande, débarque dans la capitale, écarté de sa Bretagne par son tuteur. Après un passage au couvent des Carmes, le jeune Le Floch va apprendre le métier de policier sous la houlette de M. de Sartine, le lieutenant général de police de Louis XV, chargé des affaires spéciales. Le Floch va devoir faire très vite ses preuves et apprendre le prix du silence et du secret. Sa première enquête criminelle va le plonger dans le monde interlope de la corruption, du jeu, des intrigues crapuleuses et d'une conspiration contre la vie du roi. Encore un excellent policier historique, dans cette collection Grands Détectives. Fin gourmet, rusé, intelligent, on a dit de ce Le Floch qu'il était une sorte de Maigret du XVIIIe siècle. La comparaison est assez juste. Si l'intrigue est somme toute classique, la reconstitution historique est fascinante : on se retrouve vraiment dans le Paris d'époque et accessoirement, on croise des personnages célèbres comme la marquise de Pompadour." Cette séance s'inscrit dans une thématique choisie par les participants lors du club de lecture du mois dernier et qui est celle du **policier historique**. Vous avez envie de découvrir Jean-François Parot, diplomate et écrivain français ? Alors nous vous donnons rendez-vous dans l'ambiance cosy du Poinçon Paris pour échanger ensemble autour de ce roman, au cours d'un club de lecture. A l’issue de la séance, vous pourrez proposer un livre qui sera soumis au vote des participants, pour déterminer l’ouvrage à lire pour le prochain Club de Lecture de la Plume en Question (Rappel des conditions : 300 pages maximum – format poche disponible)
